While I think I'm pretty much the only one here that think that configured optimally for low weight the F80 will weigh in at 33XX lbs I'm not quick to believe these kind of articles. I think the 230 lbs lighter than an E92 DCT car is a new number and could mean something but it can just as well just be mathematics from taking an E92 number and subtract the rumour of 3300 lbs.
All this data, i.e 3300 lbs, EPS and 420/400 TT 3l I6 would still hold my interrest by I'm very skeptic to their validity. It just sounds like a set of the most common rumours and the VIN leaks.
This close to official reveal I'll not get my hopes up or down on any data that isn't released directly by BMW. Thanks for posting though, I still enjoy reading everything written about the car.
The part I like the most is the Nitschke quote with exlamation mark about this cars primary progress is the weight reduction. It should mean that it's just not hot air but something somewhat significant.
